Madras toddler belt

I found some awesome madras fabric last year that I thought I would make into pants for my boys. It hasn't moved off the shelf since, so a cute belt is the next best thing.

First, I measured the waist of my perfectly still 3 year old a pair of pants that fit him without falling down. I added about 6 inches for sewing and the necessary excess to tighten it once he's wearing it.

I bought 7/8" D-rings, so I cut a strip of fabric 3 1/2 inches wide. If you use a different size ring, of course change the thickness. My formula is 4 times the width of your D-rings. (7/8" x 4 = 3 1/2")
